An information handling system may include a management controller configured to provide out-of-band management of the information handling system. The management controller may be configured to: receive network traffic from a client information handling system, the network traffic relating to management of the information handling system; and transmit at least a portion of the network traffic to a traffic classifier. The traffic classifier may be configured to: determine a protocol associated with the network traffic; compare the network traffic with protocol-specific classification data based on the determined protocol; and determine, based on the comparison, a likelihood that the network traffic is malicious. Based on the determined likelihood exceeding a threshold, the management controller may be configured to execute a remedial action with respect to the network traffic.
